This is the village of Dalham not far from us. It is filled with "chocolate box" thatched cottages that must be worth a fortune today.

Tree stump - NOT amateur radio

Yesterday, we went for a delightful walk at the nearby village of Dalham in West Suffolk. On the way we passed through an avenue of trees up the hill to the church. We passed this old tree stump.  I bet this old tree had seen some history.

Chocolate boxes? - NOT amateur radio

These cottages are in the delightful village of Dalham, not too far from us. 

Today, I guess these well kept thatched cottages are owned by the wealthy who can afford them. In the 1800s, they were probably worker's hovels.

Dalham Church - NOT amateur radio

Dalham church is almost outside the village, so parishioners would have had a long uphill walk every Sunday. It is conveniently next to the old Lord of the Manor's house!

Chocolate box village

Dalham is a real "chocolate box" village not too far from here. It has lots of very attractive thatched cottages which would be ideal on the cover of a box of chocolates. You can imagine that a century ago these were hovels for working folk with no sewers or running water, and probably without a bathroom. These days these are pads for the well heeled with big prices. It is probably the most attractive village in the area.
